MTL - Fairy, Please Let Me Explain-Chapter 176 pond

  Chapter 176 Pond

  Duanhai Waterfall is crowded with people, and the adjacency of Wanxiangzong adds a different meaning to the skyscape of this waterfall.

   There are sons of aristocratic families who come here to play, there are also literati who come here to enjoy the scenery and write poems, and there are even poor families who want to try their luck to visit the mountain gate with their families.

  The former two are mostly in Goulan along the coast, while the latter are gathered on the embankment.

   But this area of ​​hustle and bustle is separated by waterfalls and natural moats, half of which are bustling and lively crowds, and half of which are the majestic and deserted palace complexes.

  Because it is next to the waterfall, low-level disciples have low cultivation. In order to prevent moisture from entering the body, the building materials of the palace are either made of water-proof materials or engraved with water-proof patterns, so that they can walk dryly and freely.

  On the long corridor leading to the important place of the sect, the sound of two footsteps sounded like it was more than a month ago.

   "Old fifth, the group of guys at the Zongmen meeting yesterday are still arguing?"

  The voice of the middle-aged man with whiskers was a little tired.

   Lao Wu glanced at his old friend beside him:

   "I was going to ask you, but you didn't go?"

  “.”

  Hearing this, the two of them fell silent suddenly. After a long while, the bearded man let out a long sigh:

   "I'm arguing there every day, blaming each other, pushing each other, and I can't make any progress for a long time. It's the same as if I didn't go. How is the side you are in charge of?"

  After hearing this question, the fifth child slowly looked sideways at the distance.

  The scenery here is very good, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire waterfall.

   Watching for a few breaths, Lao Wu slowly spoke:

"The second elder's idiot has been telling me to send people over to investigate quickly. How can I investigate? How dare I investigate? Ji Wencheng and the three of them haven't heard anything back for so long. It's probably because of an accident. Now sending people over to be caught in the urn, isn't it because there is no money here? Three hundred taels?"

  The bearded man folded the joints of his fingers and made a "click" sound:

   "The three great masters, they just disappeared without a sound. Is it Yuan Chu?"

  The fifth child shook his head:

"The current problem is not about this. We must quickly find a way to solve the problem. Half a month ago, we planted a dark seed in the surrounding counties and counties. We have sent back news that there is an army mobilized to Shengshan County. As a result, the discussion has not made any progress until now. nothing."

  The bearded man nodded:

"Indeed it is."

  Paused, he suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "I remember that when the incident happened, Xiao He and that idiot surnamed Li seemed to be in Shengshan County. What happened to them?"

  The fifth child shook his head when he heard the words:

   "Xiao He is fine, but she was hit a bit hard. Now she should be under house arrest by the suzerain, but she should be able to figure it out. As for that idiot surnamed Li, he should be dead by now."

"died?"

  The bearded man frowned.

  Twenty-year-old fourth-grade fusion body, if this Li Erzhu enlightened within two years, the suzerain most likely trained him as a son-in-law.

   Otherwise, Xiao He would not be allowed to hang out with him all the time.

  The fifth child narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

   "On the way back to the sect, he told me that he was going back to Shengshan County to kill demons."

  The bearded man raised his eyebrows, and said in a strange way:

   "Slaying monsters in the beast tide?"

   paused,

  The old fifth's eyes were complicated, and he remembered Li Erzhu's words when he knelt in front of him:

   "Fifth Elder, the sect's kindness to me can't be repaid in this life, but will it allow me to go back there and kill the demon? Or the elder just killed me with a sword.

   "My conscience is really uneasy."

   Squinting his eyes for some unknown meaning, Lao Wu said in a low voice:

   "You also watched him grow up and know his temperament."

  “.”

  The bearded man was taken aback for a moment, thinking of the boy's temperament, he snorted softly:

   "He asked you to kill him?"

"Um."

   "Insanely stupid."

   "So I asked him to kill the demon." The fifth child smiled.

  The bearded man frowned upon hearing this:

   "Aren't you afraid that he will reveal the matter?"

   Lao Wu smiled, very cold:

   "The Zongmen's kindness to him is like a mountain, and his temperament will never be forgotten.

   "The suzerain's successor died in battle in Shengshan County. It can remove some of our suspicions, which is much more valuable than me killing him with a sword."

  The bearded man rubbed his eyebrows:

   "It's a pity, such a person can be a good tool if he uses it well."

   Lao Wu glanced at the bearded man, lowered his eyes, and said meaningfully:

   "Maybe, maybe it doesn't matter anymore"

   "." The bearded man looked puzzled.

   Didn't speak anymore, the two walked to the end of the corridor, and the door of the meeting hall came into view.

   Push the door and enter,

  Different from the heavy atmosphere last time, the whole hall is a bit noisy at the moment.

  The voices of more than a dozen people mixed together. Compared with an important high-level meeting, this place is more like a small vegetable market.

  One of the old men pointed at the nose of a young man in brocade robes facing him and cursed:

"He Jigu! Just think about your Fenghai Chamber of Commerce! For such a big plan for the entire sect, the total plate in Shengshan County is 50,000 taels? It has to be withdrawn in advance. It turns out that there is no goal. Okay, If you do this, won't you have a target?!"

  The young man in brocade robe held a folding fan and slammed on the table:

   "Wine lunatic, don't yell here, isn't it you who are most responsible for this failure?! You are responsible for the connection and acceptance of the formation. If there is no problem with the formation, how could we fail?!"

   "Bastard! It is absolutely impossible for the formation to go wrong!"

"Then tell me how this thing was broken? The Magic Fog Formation is the work of Xu Xinyao's formation master, but speaking of this, the formation research you are in charge of, old man Jiu, is really disappointing. Every year the sect invests It’s so big, not to mention the phantom mist formation, in the end even the ghost suppression formation has to be bought by others! Do you know how much money it is?!”

   "The core of the Ghost Sorting Formation is the old man's own research. Some of the edge patterns I bought will become the whole in the mouth of a yellow-mouthed boy like you."

  “.”

  “.”

  Listening to the quarrels in the hall, the fifth child and the bearded man who stepped into the door looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

  Seeing the two people coming in, the Vientiane Sect Master suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly:

   "The fifth and youngest are here, please stop."

  “.”

  The voice was vigorous and powerful, and it directly echoed in the minds of everyone in the hall.

  Seeing this scene, all the high-level officials who were arguing stopped, but they still glared at each other.

  The suzerain's order may not be obeyed, but face must be given.

  The Sovereign of Vientiane exhaled, and asked in a calm voice:

   "What progress have you two made?"

  The two are responsible for matters related to information and intelligence. At the current stage of the Wanxiang sect, they are almost the most important two.

  The mobilization of the troops in the local counties, the movement of the troops in other state capitals, and even the content of the memorials to the court, all have to be obtained by the two of them.

  The current high-level quarrel is largely due to the fear of insufficient information.

  They don't know how the three people in charge of the formation are doing now, whether the people in Shengshan County are dead, how much their plans have been exposed, or even what the court's attitude is now.

  Now, they only know that the imperial court will send troops to Shengshan County.

   Other than that, I don't know anything.

   Ants on a hot pan.

  Old Wu bowed and brought a useful but bad news:

   "Sovereign Lord, I sent Anzi to Shengshan County with the reinforcements. The news just came today that the tide of monsters has been stopped. The reinforcements have cleaned up more than 90% of the monsters. More than 200,000 people died in the city."

  The suzerain of Vientiane asked the most critical question:

   "Have you found out who helped Shengshan County in the city?"

  This matter is related to their next countermeasures.

  “.”

  Hearing this question, Lao Wu went to the seat and sat down, whispering:

   "We only know that there are two people who have been there. The school lieutenant named Wang Jiadian in Shengshan County personally received them. One of them is a great master, and the other has no cultivation level, but the great master seems to be his follower."

  The Sovereign of Vientiane narrowed his eyes;

   "Can you continue to check?"

  The fifth child shook his head, a little helpless:

   "The highest status of our Anzi is just a thousand-person superintendent, and the clue is broken."

  Shengshan County, county government.

  A man with a cold face stood in the slightly messy county office, looking at Adjutant Li sitting in the hall with a smile.

  After Lieutenant Wang left, Adjutant Li took his place, with a hesitant expression on his face:

   "Mr. Yi, what do you mean, don't build a shrine for Mr. Zhou? Or even erase the news that he has been here?"

  Yi Tian arched his hands:

   "I also hope that Lieutenant Li understands that the general situation of our intelligence business should not be too famous."

   Adjutant Li pondered for a moment, then said:

   "But many Shuli have seen them."

  Yi Tian smiled, squinted his eyes and answered softly:

   "These people, we will be responsible.

   "You just need to erase Zhou Chen in the report to the county government, can you?"

   There is silence in the hall of discussion,

   "The clue is broken?" The Vientiane suzerain frowned.

  The voice of the fifth child is very firm:

   "Someone is interfering with our investigation of this matter."

   paused,

   Lao Wu looked around and whispered slowly: "But the range can be narrowed."

   said,

  He raised three fingers, retracting one at each sentence:

   "Breaking the formation, besieging and killing the three great masters, and being able to directly contact the important ministers above the court, I believe everyone knows who can do these three things in the state."

  As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly noisy.

   "Is it Tianyin Temple? Or Fengqingmen?"

   "It's unlikely, those two sects have always been friends with us, and the surrounding interests are basically the same."

   "Who would that be?"

"Too much."

  “.”

  Amidst the noisy discussion, the young man in brocade robe holding a folding fan suddenly said:

"I think it's the Qin family in the state capital, or the Nangong family in Anxi County. In the past, these two aristocratic families have always had conflicts with our generation in the market share. Before the disciples traveled abroad, they lost a lot of people in their hands. If the state government hadn't intervened in the mediation, we would have been deadly enemies with them."

  Hearing this, the wine lunatic on the opposite side suddenly spoke at this moment:

"Share conflict? Deadly feud? He Jigu, don't pick a good word. They originally put their property in our name to avoid court taxation. In the end, you want to directly annex and occupy them. If it is really them, this matter is because of you. rise."

  Hearing this, young master Jinpao had blue veins on his forehead, Qi surged all over his body, his fan creaked when he was pinched, and the words came out between his teeth:

   "Old man Jiu, keep your dog's mouth clean, this is the decision of the sect."

   "Shut up!"

  The Suzerain of Vientiane suddenly made a low voice.

  He felt a little tired, and if he kept silent, the people below would start arguing again.

  Pressing everyone down, he looked at the frowning fifth child in his seat:

   "Old fifth, what do you think of this matter?"

  The fifth child raised his eyes, and his tone was somewhat complicated:

   "Sovereign, elders, what you say is reasonable, but if they really did it, we still have room for maneuver in this matter."

  “.” Silence.

  The people present were thinking about the meaning of these words, and some people who reacted quickly showed a look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.

   And the words of the fifth child continued:

   "However, two of the forces you just discussed are missing."

Speaking of which,

  The fifth child pointed to the dome and clicked on it.

  Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone present knew what Lao Wu was talking about.

   Xiangguo Mansion, Dayan Royal Family.

  In the dead silence,

  The fifth child sighed, stood up and looked at the Sovereign of Vientiane, and bowed solemnly:

   "Sovereign, Wen Lin begged to start implementing the worst plan immediately"

"boom!"

   Before he could finish his sentence, there was a muffled sound, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a big crack opened in the special material palace floor.

Then,

  The old man sitting first on the left stood up:

   "Xia Wenlin, we have no leaks, no real evidence, even the current emperor dare not touch us."

  The sect is loose, but if one wants to massacre a sect on the grounds of a trumped-up charge, it will cause collective resistance.

  Because if they don’t resist, it might be their turn next.

   Zongmen knows this better than anyone else.

Speaking of which,

  The old man stared closely at Xia Wenlin who was bowing and saluting:

   "Head up, do you know what the worst is?"

  The fifth child slowly raised his eyes and his face remained unchanged:

"of course I know."

  Worst plan, set off a rebellion.

  But everyone knows that the result of the rebellion is a dead word, after all, the example of Xuan Qingzong is still there.

  No one thinks they can do better than Xuan Qingzong.

  They can only abandon everything in Dayan territory, use the lives of outer disciples to delay time, and try to transfer the core disciples to Wanxing Mountain Range.

  But the preparations for this kind of thing will have a lot of movement, the preparation of materials, the transfer of personnel, and the sale of the property. It is impossible to hide the big moves of this level from those who are interested.

   In other words,

  Once this matter starts, there is no going back.

   After a pause, the voice of the fifth child was calm:

   "And Great Elder, we have leaks."

   "What?" The Great Elder frowned.

   "The three of Ji Wencheng have not received any news so far."

   "Nothing can be done, they will kill themselves."

   "What if you never succeed?"

  “.”

  The Great Elder’s Qi was surging around him, causing the surrounding air to faintly deform:

"The three of them have each other's fate, and they can't do anything. As long as one of them thinks about it, he can help the other two commit suicide. Even the second-rank Yuanchu is not sure to cure them at the same time. Are you trying to say that there just happens to be a supernatural power?" The person happened to appear near Shengshan County?"

  The fifth child was not affected by it, and continued:

   "There are too many means in this world. The art of ecstasy, poison, illusion, and special Dao aggregates can all achieve this goal."

  The Great Elder sighed, his tone softened a little:

   "Xiao Wu, the possibility of the things you mentioned happening is so small that it cannot be counted. We can't gamble just because of such things."

  Old Fifth clenched his fists slightly, looking at the Great Elder with extremely complicated eyes:

   "Elder, it's not a gamble, it's too quiet"

   "What?" There was some doubt in the eyes of the Great Elder.

   Speaking of this, Lao Wu's body trembled slightly due to tension:

   "Elder, have you ever fallen into the sea?"

   "." The Great Elder frowned.

  The fifth child smiled and sighed:

  “I used to go to sea when I was a child. I once fell into the sea from a boat. It was so dark around me that I couldn’t breathe, and the only thing I could hear was the sound of the water.”

   Speaking of this, the fifth child sighed helplessly:

   "The Zongwei I am in charge of now is just like me at the beginning, falling into the sea and not hearing any useful sounds.

   "Only, gurgling noise.

  “I really hope that this sea is really a sea, not a pond built for us by others.”

   "But it was too quiet.

   "No one went to Shengshan County to investigate, no one came to Vientiane City to investigate, not even... no one came to visit our Vientiane Sect, which is the most suspected."

   There was silence.

   In silence,

  The Sovereign of Vientiane asked in a low voice:

   "Why didn't you report this matter earlier?"

   Lao Wu raised his head slightly, looked at the pitch-black dome, and let out a long breath:

   "Sovereign, it takes time to transmit information, it takes time for people to travel, and it takes time to confirm the collection of information."

   As he spoke, Lao Wu raised a finger:

   "However, after realizing this, I sent a lot of eagle riders to explore around Vientiane City. Do you know what the results I received today?

   "Some came back, some didn't.

   "The suzerain, Vientiane City East, has now become a restricted area."

  The fifth child withdrew his fingers, and gave a low laugh with a trill:

   "It's really, really quiet."

  The words fall,

  The floating clouds and mists covered the sunlight, and the hall was instantly as silent and dark as the bottom of the sea.

  No one voiced their approval, but also no one refuted Xia Wenlin's proposal.

I do not know how long it has been,

   The darkness remained, but the silence was broken by an eagle's cry, and then, a mighty voice spread throughout the sect:

   "Sovereign of Vientiane, come out and say something."

   Ask for a monthly pass
